What School Could Be: A Conversation About the Intersection of Innovation and Education with Author and Innovation Expert Ted Dintersmith

The BHS Innovation Fund will host a conversation with Author and Innovation Expert Ted Dintersmith to discuss his new book What School Could Be: Insights and Inspiration from Teachers Across America. What School Could Be is an inspiring account of teachers in ordinary circumstances doing extraordinary things, showing what leads to powerful learning in classrooms, and how to empower teachers to make it happen. Moderated by WBUR’s Meghna Chakrabarti, the thought-provoking conversation with Mr. Dintersmith will delve into how teachers can change the education system in creative, compelling and practical ways to positively impact students and better prepare them to succeed in the innovation economy.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at Brookline High School on Thursday, September 20, 2018, at 7:00-8:00 pm. Doors will open at 6:30 pm. A reception will follow the speaker, concluding at 9:00 pm. At the reception, the public is invited to meet faculty, student, and parent representatives from the BHS Innovation Fund to learn more about our twenty-year history with the Public Schools of Brookline. Mr. Dintersmith is scheduled to attend the reception.
